Baking Recipes

Baked Potatoes

10 pounds (4.5 kg) baking potatoes

Wash and scrub the potatoes. Pierce all the potatoes, several times. Stack in the roaster oven so that they are not touching the sides of the insert pan. Bake at 400ºF (200ºC) for 1 hour, or until done. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork.

The Perfect Cheesecake

You need a springform pan for this, but cheesecakes are easy to make. The roaster oven cooks the cheesecake with gentle heat by surrounding it with water like the professionals do.

Butter

1⁄2 cup (125 ml) graham cracker crumbs

6 (8-ounce [225 g]) packages cream cheese, room temperature 11⁄2 cups (375 ml) sugar

5 eggs

1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla

1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice

Generously butter bottom and sides of 91⁄2 inch (24 cm) springform pan. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over bottom of pan. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and continue to beat until smooth. Add eggs beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and lemon juice. Pour into prepared springform pan. Cover springform pan with aluminum foil. (This prevents condensation in roaster from dripping onto cake.) Pour 3 quarts (3 L) hot water into insert pan. Place spring- form pan on rack and place in roaster. Cover and bake at 325ºF (160ºC) for 11⁄2 hours. Carefully remove and let cool, then refrigerate thoroughly before serving.

Yield: 16 to 20 servings.

Baked Eggs

11⁄2 cups (375 ml) milk

3 dozen eggs

1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt

1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) pepper

1⁄4 cup (60 ml) melted butter

In a large bowl, beat milk, eggs, salt, and pepper with mixer. Pour melted butter into 9x13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking pan and tilt pan to coat bottom and sides. Pour egg mixture into pan. Place in roaster oven and bake eggs at 400ºF (200ºC) for 30 minutes, stirring and scraping sides of pan with a rubber spatula every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. Makes 15 servings.
